The oh-so-khoobsurat couple has already made it big in India and are now returning to the big screen for their second film.

Our prince charming Fawad has been paired with Bollywood's quintessential fashionista, Sonam Kapoor, for an adaptation of Anuja Chauhan’s best selling novel, "Battle for Bittora".

According to Times of India, Anil Kapoor’s company has purchased the filming rights for Chouhan’s book, and the film will be produced by his daughter, Rhea Kapoor.

"Battle of Bittora" tells the story of spunky 25-year-old Jinni, who is working in the big city and carving out a career in animation while living independently. Things take an unexpected turn when her bossy grandmother forces her to contest the upcoming Lok Sabha elections from their boring hometown of Bittora. Her opponent turns out to be Zain Altaf Khan, someone Jinni has a complicated history with and is to be played by none other than Fawad Khan.

No release date for the movie has yet been announced.
